What is OpenCoffee?

This is an attempt to establish recognized, open and regular meeting places where entrepreneurs can meet with investors (and anyone else who fancies coming along) in a totally informal setting.

The key is a regular place and a regular time - it's not important who comes along, some days it might be no one - just that people know if they want to meet, this is the time and this is the place.

We want to create some density for people -- a few places where people know they can meet or bump into others.

Something that can be replicated anywhere else at little or no cost -- though we do want to build a list of all the places (wiki to come) where entrepreneurs can meet and know people might be around for them to talk with.

From an original idea by Saul Klein.

Is there a mechanism by which we might recognise each other? A copy of Wired or New Media Age under the arm perhaps?!

Great little event Manoj, well done. Looking forward to next week's event, and I'll try and get more devs and start-up entrepreneurs turning up.
